You think the power supply is unreliable now. Just wait until poor quality underground installations have been in place for a few years, water, corrosion, undersized conductors and determining fault locations.

 

There are good reasons for arial cables, none relate to visual appearance but the performance of overhead distribution is superior in most aspects.

hahah. as i write this the guys from ai$ are installing a new cable to my brother in laws (aka my wife's real husband) house behind ours for his internet. they had to bring it all the way down the soi from the start of the road. close to a km i bet. poor guys have been at it for most of the day already. waited for him to go down from the ladder as to not plaster him all over tv.

That has nothing to do with being arial or underground. The issue you raise relates to the design and qualty of the nework and the installation.
